Three teenagers have been arrested after a mass brawl involving up to 70 youths broke out outside a Clarks shoe store in a town centre in west London.

Police were forced to set up a “dispersal zone” in Uxbridge after a fight between a swarm of schoolchildren erupted on Monday. The order means that anyone who refuses to leave the area or returns after being moved on can be arrested. 

Video footage of the fight shows several teenagers girls punching and kicking each other, with one ending up on the floor.

It also appears to show adults attempting to break up the brawl as punches are thrown. Many of the youngsters in the video are wearing their school uniform. 

A security guard was eventually able to detain one of the teenage girls who appeared to be involved from the beginning of the fight.

Met Police said on Saturday that three people had been arrested in connection with the disorder.

A 17-year-old boy has been detained on suspicion of GBH, affray and handling stolen goods, while another boy, aged 14, was arrested for affray.

A 16-year-old girl was arrested for affray and ABH. Police said enquiries were ongoing. 

Police were called to the scene at about 5.30pm on Monday.

Riding rollercoasters an effective way of removing kidney stones, research finds

Taking a ride on certain types of rollercoasters can successfully remove kidney stones, new research has found. 

Scientists who suggested rollercoasters could be used to remove kidney stones are among those to be recognised with a coveted Ig Nobel prize.

The spoof awards, held at Harvard University and organised by US magazine Annals of Improbable Research, celebrate unusual, funny but practical scientific work.

Inspiration behind the work came from a patient of Professor David Wartinger at Michigan State University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine who had visited Florida’s Disney World. 

After returning, the man said a ride on the Big Thunder Mountain rollercoaster had managed to dislodge one of his kidney stones.

He went on the rollercoaster again to see if it was the ride which helped remove the stone or whether it was just a coincidence, only for another one to dislodge shortly after.  

Big Thunder Mountain was particularly effective in comparison to other adrenaline-filled rides such as Space Mountain because of the way it moves the rider around, Professor Wartinger found.

The research is one of 10 awards given out at the Ig Nobels ceremony this year, which commemorate scientific discoveries and research deemed funny or unusual. 

Other prizes won this year include the biology award which was taken by Swedish researchers who demonstrated that, by using their sense of smell, wine experts can reliably identify a fly in a glass of wine. 

A researcher from Britain took home the Nutrition Prize for establishing that pound per pound it is not worth consuming human flesh in comparison with other meats.

PM admits she gets 'irritated' by debate over her leadership

Theresa May has slapped down Boris Johnson’s “suicide vest” Brexit remarks and admitted she gets “irritated” by the debate over her leadership.

The Prime Minister insisted she was focused on the country's future rather than her own, in a BBC interview to mark the six-month countdown to Brexit.

Mrs May criticised Mr Johnson for using "completely inappropriate" language when he described her Brexit strategy as putting the UK in a "suicide vest".

Around 50 Brexiteers met to war-game ways to oust the Prime Minister on Tuesday evening and Mr Johnson is widely-expected to vie to replace Mrs May.

Asked if she would reassure the Conservative party she was not determined to go on and on, the PM told BBC Panorama's Inside No 10: Deal or No Deal?: "I get a little bit irritated but this debate is not about my future, this debate is about the future of the people of the UK and the future of the United Kingdom.

"That's what I'm focused on and that's what we should all be focused on.

"It's ensuring that we get that good deal from the European Union which is good for people in the UK, wherever they live in the UK, that's what's important for us ... It's the future of people in the UK that matters."

Mr Johnson faced a Tory backlash after comparing Mrs May's Brexit plan to a "suicide vest" and his former communications director, Guto Harri, said on Saturday that his ex-boss was "digging his political grave".

Mrs May said the former foreign secretary's comments were "not right".

"I have to say that that choice of language is completely inappropriate," she said.

"I was home secretary for six years, and as Prime Minister for two years now I think using language like that was not right and it's not language I would have used."

The PM was once described as "bloody difficult woman" by former Cabinet minister Ken Clarke, and later claimed the description as a badge of honour.

She told the programme that person is "still there", but "there's a difference between those who think you can only be bloody difficult in public, and those who think actually you bide your time, and you're bloody difficult when the time is right - and when it really matters."
